No Indian Uprising,

New YORK, Aug. 29.-Ex-Senator Hill,
of Colorado, who is in this city, discredits
the idea of voluntary Indian uprising.
He says:
"There is no occasion for excitement
over this affair. If you read the dispatches
you will think that the frontier is ablaze
and massacres are to be expected every
minute. don't believe that there is man
in old Colorow's band who wants to hurt
any body, or has any disposition to go on
a killing expedition.
"The authorities" he says, "have lost
their heads. There may be two or three
men who are hiding out who are wanted
for offenses, but there is no Indian upriS-
ing"

wEISER LEADER.

A few days since James Hol-
comb, proprietor of the Sturgill Bar
on Snake river, was riding up
along the bank of the river, when
he saw large sturgeon lying in
two and a half or three feet of water
apparently asleep. The fish's head
would bob up and the tail down,
then the tail would up and the head
down. Jim looked long time at
the fish and finally the thought
struck him that he wanted that
fish, but the only thing he had to
kill or capture it with was lasso
and plenty of rocks. So he took
his rope and walked quietly into
the water and up behind his fish
ship and dropped the rope over it's
tail. He did not dare tighten on
the rope until he had disabled the
fish; SO he took up large rock and
when the head came up he let the
stone go; he made splendid shot,
hitting it squarely on the head and
stunned the fish. Then he drew
the fish to the bank, tied it to
tree and finished it with his pocket
knife. The fish was 8 feet 7 inches
long and weighed over five hun
dred pounds.

CAssIA COUNTY TIMES.


A slight ripple of excitement was
occasioned on the streets recently
by the arrival of Jake Fuller, from
Rock Creek, accompanied by sus-
picious looking character, whom
the residents in that portion of the
country took to be the original
Peter Olsen, the California mur-
derer. He had been brought dis
tance of forty miles on horse back,
his position in the saddle indicat-
ing that he might have been a very
good chopper, a sailor, or farm
hand, but very, very poor vaquero.
He sit sideways, edge-ways and
changed his position with every
step of the animal. When the pair
rode up and Mr.. Fuller enquired
for Sheriff Danner, a curious throng
of citizens began to gather around
until a crowd of something less
than hundred had congregated.
He was assisted in dismounting
and furnished with a cushion chair
to rest his weary, though somewhat
battered body, and put through
rigid questioning. He stated that
he had been in this country for
about two years, hailing from Nor
way, had been in California, Mon
tana, Oregon, Washington, Utah,
Idaho, Nevada and part of Canada,
his longest residence at any one
place being seven weeks in San
Francisco. He hal been all this
time hunting work. He said he
preferred travelling by wagon road,
it hurt his feet to count ties. His
story was terribly disjointed, and
aside from being poor rustler he
was horrible poor liar. He wore
a decidedly shabby suit, a little
cap, and his face was completely
bIistered by the sun. He said the
scar on the left side of his face was
caused by the heel of another fel-
fow's boot. He had been prowling
around in the vicinity of the differ
,nt ranches of Rock Greek for sew
sral days, never refusing meal
when offered him, having dined at
he different ranches as many as
,wenty times per day. He had a
usk on the left side of his upper
aw which could not have been
united in a description of Peter
olsen, and he lacked the bald spot
IN the back of his head. Being
atisfied that he was the wrong
nan, he was furnished square
neal, feather bed and roll of
ourt plaster, to hide the saddle
marks occasioned by the days rid
ng. He seemed anxious for a job
,ut refused several offers to ride on
he range.
